similar to: [PATCH 0 of 7 v5] Introduce the tapback daemon (most of blkback in user-space)

This patch series introduces the shared ring used by the front-end to pass request descriptors to tapdisk, as well as responses from tapdisk to the front-end. Requests from this ring end up in tapdisk''s standard request queue. When the tapback daemon detects that the front-end tries to connect to the back-end, it spawns a tapdisk and tells it to connect to the shared ring. The shared

This patch series copies the core of the tapdisk process from blktap2, with updates coming from blktap2.5. Signed-off-by: Thanos Makatos <thanos.makatos@citrix.com>

Hi, I''d like to use the blktap utils from https://github.com/xen-org/blktap because of the mirror feature, as the blktap utils comming with xen does not support this. Could anybody explain why there are two different blktap utils (one in git and one comming with xen source) and how to compile the one from git so that it works with libxl ? Any pointers greatly appreciated ;-) Thanks

Hi There, I''ve been trying to get this to work for the last couple of days, but found no information on the internet that would help. Essentially, a tap-ctl opencommand with a qcow2 image does not work (error code 2) and produces the following line in syslog: tap-ctl: tap-err:tap_ctl_open: open failed, err -2 I have attached a shell script that reproduces the problem on my machine. The

This patch series introduces the VHD library. It is based on the blktap2 one, with changes coming from the blktap2.5 one. Signed-off-by: Thanos Makatos <thanos.makatos@citrix.com>

Hi, I''ve been working on getting a working blktap driver allowing to access ceph RBD block devices without relying on the RBD kernel driver and it finally got to a point where, it works and is testable. Some of the advantages are: - Easier to update to newer RBD version - Allows functionality only available in the userspace RBD library (write cache, layering, ...) - Less issue when

I'm trying to debug what I believe to be a kernel bug (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2016-March/014463.html) and I'm trying to set up systemtap for that. I'm trying to set up systemtap on kernel 3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64 (Xen 4.4.3-10.el6) and it requires the kernel-debuginfo package, however I cannot find anywhere package kernel-debuginfo-3.18.21-17.el6.x86_64.rpm.

Hi, I''m trying to boot a PV VM I just installed (following http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Debian_Guest_Installation_Using_Debian_Installer) without success. My XEN installation is xen-unstable 54c8c9eaee92+ on a Debian unstable machine (x86_64), kernel 3.3.4+. The VM I installed is, again, a Debian unstable x86_64. The installation went smoothly; I used an 8GB file as a disk back-end. I went

From: Ben Cressey <bcressey@amazon.com> The commit "minios: refactor xenbus state machine" caused "/state" to be appended to the local value of nodename. Previously the nodename variable pointed to dev->nodename. The xenbus_rm() calls were not updated to reflect this change, and refer to paths that do not exist. For example, shutdown_blkfront() for vbd 2049 would

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Hi all I have problems in accessing a mer object called model.01 from a workspace that was created with R 2.8.1 and saved with save into an .RData file (on Windows XP or Ubuntu 8.10, don't remember anymore). Now I want to open it in R 2.9.0 on Ubuntu 8.10. I use # load workspace load("name.RData") which seems to work: ls() # all objects in there [1] "all"
